This high-energy course teaches students singing, acting and choreography techniques for showstopping musical theatre performances. Be prepared to give it your all and build your confidence in a fun, friendly group!

Beginners are welcome and no prior experience of musical theatre is necessary.

Students will learn how movement and music support the message of the lyrics in songs and there will be the opportunity for solo and duet work.

Students will work towards a performance for friends and family on the final afternoon of the programme.
